धर्मनिरपेक्षता और राष्ट्रवाद ...

इस ब्लॉगपोस्ट को हिंदी में लिखने का एक मुख्य कारण ये है कि इसका सीधा सम्बन्ध हम और हमारे अपने लोगों से है । इसे आगे पढ़ने से पहले आप से एक विनती है कि इसे आप किसी धर्म, जाति, संप्रदाय या विचारधारा के संकीर्ण लेंस से ना देखें । इसे केवल एक भारतीय नागरिक की नज़र से पढ़ें , जिसका केवल हिंदुस्तान और उसके संवैधानिक नागरिक होने के अलावा और कोई परिचय नहीं है । क्यूंकि यह एक गहरा विषय है और इस पर कोई भी टिप्पणी संक्षिप्त में करना मूर्खता होगी , इसीलिए हम इसे दो भागों में समझने की कोशशि करेंगे ।
तो पहले शुरू करते हैं , ये दो चार बड़े-बड़े शब्दों को लेकर आजकल जो ज़बरदस्त बहस चल रही है : धर्मनिरपेक्षता, असहिष्णुता और राष्ट्रवाद इत्यादि ... इस बहस के मुद्दे पर  कुछ विचार यहाँ साझा करने का प्रयत्न है।

धर्मनिरपेक्षता एक ऐसा शब्द है जिसकी संकल्पना आज शायद ही दुनिया के किसी और देश में संवैधानिक या सामाजिक रूप में देखने और सुनने को मिलेगी । ऐसा लगता है जैसे इस शब्द को अपने आप में पूर्ण रूप से लागू करने का सारा ठेका सिर्फ और सिर्फ भारतवर्ष ने ले लिया है । 
धर्मनिरपेक्षता एक बहुत बड़ा मज़ाक बन…

The daily dose of Newspaper headlines are remotely connected to the reality. Evening prime-time is spent on 'Newstainment' - the cacophony of futile & vile debates. New-age, so-called 'fact-checkers' are mostly 'Google Warriors' with hidden Agenda.
Facts & Data gets buried somewhere deep under all this rubble, crying for time & attention.
Two things happened last week to trigger a national rhetoric:  RBI released its Annual Report stating 99% of demonetised notes came backGDP growth slows to 5.7% in April-June 2017 Quarter Both have turned out to be highly emotive issues for India - for those who understand it and even for those who don't. Emotion, connects India.

100,000 KMs on Tata Aria ...

Before I talk about the Tata Aria and my experience of 100,000 KM journey with it, it would be necessary to go back in time and rewind to discuss how I arrived at this mean machine.

Earlier, I drove Tata Safari, about 120,000 KMs. Let us not try to look for any reasons into my fascination with Tata. To put it simple and straight - even today, I am a big fan of Tata Safari. 
Moreover, with a large family of Five to drive along, it turned out to be more of a necessity than anything else. Two very significant members of our family needed fairly large space. Zara & Marshal - the wonderful lovely couple of German Shepherd. They both loved being driven around and would jump onto the boot as soon as the rear door is opened; and Zara, would refuse to come out as she wouldn't like to be left behind.
Furthermore, being a family of ‘Nature and Wildlife’ enthusiasts, any opportunity of a small get-away and we prefer to look for an off-road destination.

Lastly, this perennial problem of b…
